In taped interviews with authorities, a Mason teen described how friendly chats with his teacher, Stacy Schuler, turned into something more. The student quickly found himself embroiled in the biggest scandal in recent years at Mason High School, and Schuler was eventually convicted of having sex with students and served more than a year in prison.

"It kind of started just with me coming to her for depression, (and) from there she kind of opened up about different, like, things within the school that were like kind of corrupt, if you will, different, like, principals, like, sent her naked pictures of different things, like, what's not supposed to happen in school," said the teen, whose name is not being released.

The student quickly found himself embroiled in the biggest scandal in recent years at Mason High School, and his teacher, Stacy Schuler, was eventually convicted of having sex with students and served more than a year in prison.

News 5 was able to watch taped interviews with the teens in the case, some of whom smiled or laughed when talking about their experience, and others looked embarrassed as they described their encounters as their parents looked on.

"So then a week later I was with both of them, and they both were, like, do you want to go to Schuler's?" one teen said. "And I was, like, hell, yeah, let's do it. I mean, it was just us, so I don't want to admit it, but I was excited. I mean, like, I was going over to my teacher's house."

At least one student said he had to persuade Schuler to bring other friends along.

"It's kind of like, I'd have to ask her a few times; she wouldn't just give in right away, like, I don't know, it was basically like she made me work for it more," one teen said.

The teens implicated at least one school administrator in sexual misconduct.

One teen said he saw a sexual photograph of former Mason principal George Coates on Schuler's phone. He resigned for undisclosed reasons a few weeks after the interviews were recorded.

Several other Mason school employees were named in the interviews, including one who resigned in May after he and another employee were caught having sex in a school office.

The teens said they had sex with their teacher at least five times.

"It was kind of like we were in disbelief that it happened," one teen said. "We were kind of, like, there is no way this just happened. We couldn't fathom that that had happened."

The teens said they drank alcohol and used drugs at their teacher's home, but one of the boys turned on Schuler and, according to the teens, tried to blackmail her.

"He wasn't passing, so he's, like, I'm telling everyone unless you give him an A," one teen said. "She ended up giving him an A."

The 34-year-old Schuler was placed on administrative leave in January 2010 and indicted a month later.

A judge granted her early release from prison earlier this month, after nearly 13 months behind bars.

Schuler was ordered to have no contact with victims and may not have alcohol for five years. She must also register as a sex offender.
